Nigeria election: Bola Tinubu leads amid anger at count delays and rigging claims

Experts warn technical problems with vote, at crucial time for country, may lead to result being challenged and unrest

Bola Tinubu, the candidate of the ruling party in Nigeria, has maintained his lead as results of Saturday’s election slowly become clear amid growing criticism of electoral authorities and accusations of rigging.

The count has now moved into a third day, hit by multiple technical and logistical problems that the Independent Nigerian Election Commission (Inec) appears unable to resolve.
